Well, your observation is pretty justified since I am currently both clueless and busy.

Also, Eomer? Why Legate? Or, is there a reason other than that we gotta kill someone?

EDIT: x-ed with Lommy

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 12-06-2010, 05:39 PM

I simply see more of a wolvish look in his posts. Nothing substantial, though. Or maybe I'm subconsciously detecting a Hunter-vibe in him.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 12-06-2010, 05:46 PM

That's pretty much the only good thing we can do, actually. All, set your Hunter-detectors on full blast; we'll kill him or her now and take the small chance that we'll be one wolf down tomorrow.

But how do we catch a Hunter? Enkhuizer Almanak states that hunters have slightly pointed tongues, a professional grasp of dramatic irony, and a penchant for slivovitsj uncommon in wolves.

But Sinterklaas presents are usually pretty cheap and so may be unreliable.

G'night.

++Nerwen

Has been very weird and slightly unconstructive.

Plus early Nerwen lynch is damage control regardless of her role because she's always the agonizing questionmark in the endgame and often a wolf.

Okay, that was probably one of my least reasoned votes in recent ww history. My apologies for that, but I really need to go to bed and get done with my remaining 20 pages of history.

Good night!

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-06-2010, 05:56 PM

Okay, I think the discussion is getting better lately, but now I really need to go to sleep.

I will go with the person I have the "best" reasons to suspect still as I said, that be

++Boro

Good Night. Sleeping village, cockerel's cry, soft wind blowing in the trees, peace of mind, feel at ease...

EDIT: x-ed with like five people, great...

A Little Green · 12-06-2010, 05:57 PM

Bed-time.

++ Eomer

I promise an explanation toMorrow if I'm still alive. (Oh, don't I hate it when other people do this!

)

++Shady She-Penguin

Because she seems to me like she is, and I don't think her vote's legit.

That's probably it for me, kids. I may or may not check the thread, but I likely won't post unless I see something I really need to reply to, so if you have something you want to say to me and you want me to actually reply, put my name all in caps; I'll keep an eye out so that I know which bits of the thread are urgent and which aren't.

Also, I'm making this announcement/offer now. If you must, kill me. I'm an ordo and I won't be of much use anyway. No, seriously, no tricks. I don't want to be killed, but rather me than a gifted (although of course if you lynch me and it's not a tie you're going to lose, going by statistics anyway, so do make sure to read up on what happens in a tie, as I don't have time to do so). Anyway, yeah. If all else fails, I'm expendable. I won't be offended if I'm jumped on to save someone else; the village comes first, my own survival second, especially when I won't be around much.

Also also, I will NOT be quoting posts, as my data plan is rubbish and I'll be typing up posts on Abigail and then copy pasting to my blackberry. I don't want to misquote a post, which means I'm not going to quote at all (unless I get on at work, which is highly unlikely because I don't like to fiddle around while I'm there). I'll of course reference which post number I'm talking about (as I can of course look at my cell and my computer at the same time) but that'll likely be it. Meep.

Again, I'm sincerely sorry for my lack of participation, and I'll do my best to service the village before either our victory or my demise (though of course hopefully the former).

EDIT: x'd since my last

satansaloser2005 · 12-06-2010, 06:07 PM

That's it. I'm gone. I'll check my phone at an hour before DL, and then again at about ten before, but otherwise I won't be around. Gah, I feel awful.

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-06-2010, 06:22 PM

I'm quite enjoying watching this, by the way.

In the case of a tie, the last person who receives the most votes is lynched.

Nerwen · 12-06-2010, 06:26 PM

Just a note; my poking at Elra was in part a joke, because I was getting bored with no-one around, and in part a test. I'm leaning slightly towards "wolf", actually, from her reaction, though it's hard to be sure.

Lommy's jumping on me for this looks... a little dubious from here. Otherwise seems all right, though, so maybe she's just hunting for a reason for a Day One vote.

This is a reach, though:

Really, I'm insulted by that one. Damage control for whom?

...Anyway, I'm trying to sort out this 'Heir" business myself. I wonder, can we assume that the wolves won't try to save the first of their number to get into trouble? (But then, if they wanted to, they could do it pretty safely, as the role won't be revealed.)

EDIT:X'd with many.

Nerwen · 12-06-2010, 06:55 PM

I've really only had time to give this thread a once-over, but as it is my general impression that there is an odd atmosphere in this village. A sort of almost cosy feel, at least with certain players, like a meeting of the Tol-in-Gaurhoth Mutual Appreciation Society.

X: Y can't be a wolf because of such-and-such. Tea?

Y: Thanks, X, don't mind if I do! Your way of arguing that I can't be a wolf shows that you, too, must be innocent. Mind if I take the last jam scone? Delicious! Is this your own recipe?

Odd. I mean, people– wolves and innocents– are usually a bit reluctant to commit themselves too much on Day One. Another result of the Heir business? (That is, less reason to fear being tarred by association.)

Everyone's probably trying to be nice because with the heir, the odds don't really change no matter who you kill, and we all want to feel safe in a game environment like this.

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-06-2010, 07:44 PM

On a modly note, I approve of Nessa's signature. That is all.

(We just did Romeo and Juliet.)

Really? That offended you? I assumed it was a compliment - acknowledging that you are a deadly WW player and all that. For that matter, I'm rather confused about you - as a wolf, you are quite impossible to catch, so I don't know that my suspicions can really add up to anything at all.

I think I'll go read through Nog's posts again...

Loslote · 12-06-2010, 05:51 PM

Totally Innocent:
Lottie

Basically Innocent:
Nessa (her contributions look geniune)
Eomer (for once, he's not looking suspicious to me)
Boro (I don't see anything suspicious yet)
Lommy (she comes off as rather innocent so far)

Entirely Unsure:
Zil (I can either tell his role perfectly, or I can't tell it at all)
Nog (I don't particularly trust him, but I don't particularly suspect him, either)
Legate (he posts a lot, but I can't seem to get a read on him from that)
Greenie (after I finished the list, I realized I'd totally forgotten her - and that about sums it up)

No Clue Due To Quietness:
Wilwa
Sally

o.O:
Nerwen (the tone of her posts feels...off)
Elronhubbard (twitchy and jumpy)

And, as Elra gets the famous newbie pass, my vote is likely to go to Nerwen thus far...although, I do still have five hours, so hopefully I'll get a bit more to go on.

EDIT: xed with an Eomer, a Lommy, and a Nog

Four hours, princess. You have four hours.

Still. Plenty of time, and I'll be here for quite a bit of it.

Not this particular hour or so, though. Play nice and talk lots, mkay?
